Making a Techno Album Using The Roland MC-707 Groovebox - Track 3

The Roland MC-707 is an excellent gear with everything a producer/composer needs to create electronic music. It has a powerful engine that can operate as a standalone polyphonic synthesizer. In addition, it has all the sounds of classic Roland synthesizers and drum machines from Jupiter to Juno to Pianos to TR-808s and TR-909s. The device is an unlimited sonic canvas.
I got the MC-707 last year (2021) and I am yet to use all the presets. In addition, the synth engine is very deep so you can create unique sounds with almost unlimited voices.
In this series, I will produce a ten-track techno album using just the Roland MC-707's pre-programmed preset sounds, some samples, and a bit of original synthesized patches.
For track 3 I used the following presets:
Roland MC-707 Presets
Polyphonic Synthesizers - Jupiter 8, Juno 609
Bass - TB-101
Arpeggios - Tape Keys PB (Pulse)
Lead synth - SH-101
Drums - TR-909 (EDM)
